Comment on Strategies and advice for transitioning out of Apple's ecosystem of devices?
lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoHOWEVER - with this new “Liquid Glass” bullshit, they have completely lost it. The latest iOS is complete garbage. One of the many reasons my next phone will not be Apple. It will be a Linux phone. Period.
People say that about every single redesign ever. Remember when apple went from skeumorphism to flat icons? Ho-lee shit the amount of people who were foaming at the mouth over it…
I’m not a huge fan of this “liquid glass” either, but I use my iPhone like a phone, not a status symbol, so I really couldn’t give less of a shit, and frankly I grow extremely tired of seeing people lost their goddamn minds over…this? Fucking christ, get over yourselves.
I’m literally a professional graphic designer who has been studying design and interaction for 30 years. There is a science to it. And they’ve completely lost it over the last couple decades. Say what you want about Steve Jobs, he knew what worked.

I’m curious, then. What about Liquid Glass is so repulsive? Genuinely asking.
First of all, readability is garbage, even with all the “effects” turned off. And if you do turn them off, the interface looks like garbage.
Secondly, there are so many graphical inconsistencies and bugs in the interface. It would take me a long time to go through them all, obviously, but as I type to you right now, even the autocorrect suggestions are a goddamned mess.

Oh god. I guess I never looked at it that way, but that is awful.
